As spooky season comes to a frightening close, the leaves have officially turned to oranges and yellows before ultimately falling, and the temperatures have finally reached seasonally appropriate levels. Now, it's time for us to take stock of the past month and take note of the things still consuming space in our minds. From coats and cold weather accessories to not only get us through the rest of fall but to prepare us for what's to come, we present to you our most coveted items of October. (Perhaps the spookiest thing of all is the money we spent since the last time we checked in.) Happy Halloween, everyone and, as always, happy shopping.
YSL Bomber Jacket
YSL
"I fear I need this perfect leather bomber from Saint Laurent. It has taken up more brain space over the past month than I care to admit, especially after I saw the publicist wearing a similar version at the re-see in Paris. Zipped up all way with the funnel neck, paired with skinny pants or a silk slip...perfection. It's currently number one on my most coveted list." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Flattered Suede Clay Clutch
Flattered
"It's taken me much too long to jump on the clutch bandwagon, but after discovering this version from Flattered, consider me fully onboard. This oversized, slouchy chocolate-brown clutch is just perfect in every way. It's roomy enough for all the things I'd normally throw in my everyday bag, and furls over into a perfect lunch bag-like shape. It's become my favorite way to elevate any outfit instantly." - Xue
AGOLDE Arc Jeans 32"
I'm going through a dark denim phase, and this pair of AGOLDE jeans has been in constant rotation this month. I love how stiff and structured it looks, while feeling so soft and comfortable on. It's the perfectly shade of dark wash indigo, and the cut straddles the line between wide-leg and barrel leg that somehow makes them perfect with every type of top and coat.
Aritzia Josephine UnReal leather Bomber
Aritzia
"Speaking of layering, this buttery-soft vegan leather Aritzia bomber has become my favorite cropped fall jacket. It's also perfect for travel—I wore it as my only jacket for a trip from NYC to Los Angeles, and it was easily dressed up and down for day to night. Plus, zipping it up with the subtle funnel neck feels so on trend for the season." - Xue
The Anteros Lief Button Down
The Anteros
"Faith is an IRL influencer because it was an immediate add to cart after she raved about this brand in our Substack. I guess I really am our team’s biggest fan (and maybe a little too easily influenced)." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Zut Cow Pandy Jacket
Zut
"Raise your hand if you were influenced by our cow print trend article. I took it as a sign and leaned into my new favorite item. Whenever I'm wearing my classic black on black uniform, I throw this on and immediately it becomes an outfit." - Sheridan
Rat & Boa Lorela Dress
Rat & Boa
"I recently wore this dress for my engagement photos, and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on an outfit. Honestly, I could have worn it as my wedding dress and been completely happy." - Sheridan
Chanel Denimpressions Jumbo Flap Bag
Vivrelle
"I have been borrowing this Chanel Denimpressions Flap Bag from Vivrelle for the past month, and just extended my membership because of it. It's the perfect size for an everyday bag and adds a subtle pop of color to all of my looks. I love that I could try it before making the commitment too, but it's safe to say I'm sold!" - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Acne Studios Black Zip Leather Jacket
SSENSE
"I love a leather bomber so much, and I love how this Acne option feels more like a track jacket than a flight jacket. With winter around the corner, I'll be bundled in this come December." - O'Keeffe
Lemaire Black Glove 80 Tall Boots
SSENSE
"Boot season has me on the hunt for a glove boot, and this scrunchy, shiny pair from Lemaire is perfect to me. Peeking out of a long skirt or coat hem...stick a fork in me!" - O'Keeffe
3.1 Phillip Lim Luna Bag
Phillip Lim
"Ella and I saw this at the showroom last week, and I haven't stopped thinking about it. The bag's silhouette draws inspiration from origami art, and it uniquely folds in on itself so you can play with its shape. In this rich crimson shade, it adds the perfect amount of color to neutral-toned fall outfits." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Aviator Nation Heart 2 Heart Hoodie
Aviator Nation
"With cozy season in full swing, I’ve been searching for sweats that strike the right balance between lounge-worthy and street-ready. This camo-and-neon-pink Aviator Nation set is the one. The playful print and pop of pink make it an instant fave." - Herh
Aritzia Barbour Tartan Scarf
Aritzia
"I'm fully leaning into the tartan propaganda this season. This Barbour scarf adds just the right amount of playfulness to each of my outfits, and it's become my go-to finishing touch for fall days. You can wear it around your neck or pull it up onto your head to turn it into a chic balaclava." - Herh
Apparis Tilly Reversible Coat
Apparis
"My mom got me this coat for my birthday in January and, now that the temperatures have dropped in New York, it has recently made its way back into my rotation. It's perfectly long and keeps the full body warm, but this is perhaps the most exciting part: it's reversible. One side is leather with shearling piping, the other is shearling with leather piping. I've honestly only worn it one way, so it's almost like I have a fully new coat this season." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
DL1961 Karmine Refined Wide Leg Jeans
DL1961
"When I say that I've been wearing these into the ground, I truly mean it. As someone who struggles to find jeans that properly fit me, when I do, they'll be worn until the end of time. I sized up in these DL1961 jeans so they hit perfectly on my hips for a low-rise and baggy fit. The denim is soft and not too rigid or stiff, making these super comfy." - Asare
Lexxola Mila Glasses
Lexxola
"I've been looking for a new pair of lenses to put a prescription in for my (very) slight nearsightedness. The plan was also to add in blue light protection which I highly recommend for anyone who spends their days staring at a computer screen. These Lexxola glasses have occupied space in my brain for months, I just haven't yet pulled the trigger. Perhaps it's time to just go for it." - Asare
